okay I hope I'm not treading on anyone's toes but as the proud owner of a July AF I'm posting early. Any seconders for a BFP filled August are very welcome.

Is my bday in August so fingers crossed. And by my calculations my ov this month should tie in with dh's 30th birthday.

so paws crossed

becky

oh nicki and bobble the suspense is killingme so god only knows what its doing to you!! would be great to have 2 BFPS...and we are not even in august yet!! hehe
have had a really lazy weekend..so lazy in fact me and dp didnt get up yesterday until 2:30pm!! we sat in bed watching films which was nice and cosy. i ovulated yesterday too (cd17) i thought it was early on in the week it happened but on sunday the line was VERY clear.
we have bd'd every day for the last 2 weeks (except last wednesday) so i really have got my fingers crossed.
nice to see you are all back though..i came on a few times yesterday afternoon and no1 was on

Hey ladies, I have been away from MN for a few days and things have certainly been happening here. Fingers and toes crossed for you Bobblehead!

I am feeling awful, I hurt everywhere and the veins in my legs are aching and I feel very emotional. I have also lost any sense of what is going on with my body.

Now been off the pill for just over 5 weeks. Usual Pill AF ended just over 4 weeks ago. 23 days later AF arrived but only for 4 days and very light and since then I have had spotting, dark discharge(sorry TMI).

Anyone been through this and know what it is?

Also be bad as had quite a ot to drink at the weekend and I know I shouldn't be drinking much at all if TTC.

Agree with all you have said about sharing, noone else knows how much I think about TTC and this site is great for giving your awareness and perspective!

Happy Monday ladies

hiya all

haven't had chance to read through the whole thread so don't know who has and hasn't had bfp's so will just say congrats to those with bfp's and commiserations to those with af.

am on cd10, have just come back from a week at the seaside, dh should hopefully get his sperm test result today so who knows that might bring some closure. Last month my mum asked if we were going to have any more babies, and I said prob not as was unable to get pregnant, now she's being all tactful, not, rang last night for a chat and then said .. "any news? any babies on the way yet?" tactless cow, lol.

trace2 · 24/07/2006 10:08

Nicki10 · 24/07/2006 10:15

Hi Trace it's really nice to have you back.

I'll try the orange juice with the grapefruit too as I can't stand grapefruit, oh the things we do! . When after AF arrives should you start drinking it?

trace2 · 24/07/2006 10:23

yes you can drink the grapfruit any time, of the month, its the epo you can only take after ovulation

wannaBe1974 · 24/07/2006 10:23

hiya trace - sorry just popping out to the shops but will be back later or on msn

Glad you're feeling up to coming bac (((hugs)))

bubblez · 24/07/2006 10:24

Heya all,

Sorry to hear that your having a time of it Mrsmcjnr, I wish I had some advice for you. I know that when I stopped my pill a year ago I had irratic AF's so maybe that is just it.

Hello Nicki10 was wondering where you had got to and if you had tested yet. I don't think that the sainbury's tests would work two days before AF, be strong it won't be long now. Fingers crossed.

Bobble - sounds very,very good to me. Can't wait till wednesday now as there will be you and Nicki10 testing. OOOOOO how exciting.

Thank you MIAM for the welcome.

Well my news is that I slipped in the shower over the wk/end. Very bruised and tender now. Just waiting to be able to test, 9 days feels like an eternity to wait to test. [impatient emotion] Also I've been so bloated over the past few days and have constantly felt tired, anyone else feeling like this?

How is everyone else?

trace2 · 24/07/2006 10:26

ok wannbe,

bubblez sorry about your fall hope you ok, its still not took your mind of testing though

bubblez · 24/07/2006 10:27

Oh hello Trace2 and wannabe - sorry took so long to write my post I missed both of yours.

bubblez · 24/07/2006 10:29

Unfortunately not Trace2, just suceeded in making me worry about it. How are you today?

trace2 · 24/07/2006 10:29

ive started bding, dh was unsure but we started on day8 this month, am now on day 10 whos with me?

trace2 · 24/07/2006 10:30

am ok, dont worry to much as that can stop you conciving

Nicki10 · 24/07/2006 10:35

Oh no bubblez hope your not too sore!

Yeah I will test on Wednesday but DP is away then and I'd have to wait to tell him! Although I don't think I am anyway, but it sounds good for you Bobblehead.

Thanks Trace I will start drinking it on Wednesday if AF arrives

trace2 · 24/07/2006 10:36

think postive

bubblez · 24/07/2006 10:39

Thank you. It's nice to have some reasurance as there aren't many ppl around me who know that I've been ttc this month, so noone really understood the underlying worry about my fall. Nor did they understand why I avoided alcohole and strong painkillers at the bbq I went to straight after.

At least the weather has cooled a bit now. More like BDing weather. lol

bubblez · 24/07/2006 10:40

I agree with trace, just think positive because you never know.

Nicki10 · 24/07/2006 10:46

Ok I will but I don't want to get hopes up and be disappointed, I guess it's just a waiting game!

Oh well I think I may waste some of todays time with a bit of retail therapy!

trace2 · 24/07/2006 10:47

bubblez , ive told most of my friends and family that we are ttc , but then weve been at it for17 months, and most know of my mc last month and all i get is when you going to stop trying, they have no idea how we feel, also most of family watch what i take and drink,so some times i wish they didnt know

trace2 · 24/07/2006 10:49

nicki, no matter what even if you have no symptons, we all still get our hopes up every month, so try and relax i know its hard

MrsMcJnr · 24/07/2006 10:55

Trace2, nice to have you back, really hope things look up for you very, very soon

bubblez · 24/07/2006 10:56

OH Trace2 now I remember you. I left a message for you not too long ago on the July thread, I think that it's the last post on there still.

I know what you mean about family. That is part of the reason why I haven't said anything. (interfering lot) Sometimes it is more trouble then it is worth. I don't even know how we are going to tell my MIL if and when I fall prgers as she really doesn't want me to have another child.

Nicki I know what you mean also about not wanting to get your hopes up, but as it is your 1st month of ttc there isn't any harm in being positive. If you had been ttc for years then I could understand even more you not wanting to get your hopes up. Enjoy your retail therapy hun.

bubblez · 24/07/2006 10:57

did my post to nicki make any sense....?!?!? Confused

Natty1806 · 24/07/2006 10:57

Glad to see your back trace,
